If they are keeping their arm tucked into their body they can't post if you roll them. Around :17-20 in your video why not try to suck the arm into your chest and bridge and reverse them into n/s position. Similar in principle to this video.

That's actually what I was trying to do when I hit this the first time. The guy manuevered around to side control on the other side of me, and led to me popping my hips out and so on. So yeah, go for the standard Kimura sweep first, if they move to N/S go for the above, if they manage to swing all the way around pop up and go for the one I stumbled upon.

I see. What about taking the back once you establish that grip from your knees? It seems higher percent.

Didn't get a chance to try it and wasn't willing to let go of the arm to try to get to the back. I'm not big on letting go of a really solid control point where I'm fairly safe to get into a scramble with a wrestler who has 45lbs on me.
I thought about trying to jump over his back to finish the kimura that way, dunno how well that would work. I'm hoping to get try it out some more wednesday.

Retnuheht: Your posts make me feel like I'm watching a 6 year old Mozart pounding his hands into gravy with a mallet. So much potential for greatness being wasted on a senseless and destructive activity. Please stop posting trivial, semi cryptic nonsense and hook us up with the awesome level of technical expertise you must have acquired during your career.
